FA-101T Installation and Operation Manual

Introduction

The FA-101T is a supervised sin gle-zone 24V DC Fire Alarm Control Panel. Th e panel provide s the
following features:

• 1 Class B detection zone

• 1 Class B signal zone, 1.7A

• DIP switch selectable signal circuit outputs such as temporal or steady

• Alarm and trouble relay contacts

• Remote trouble and A.C. ON indication

• Zone silence/disconnect switch

• Buzzer silence switch

• LED indicators for zone alarm and trouble, A.C. On, Battery Fault, Ground Fault, Common
Trouble, Signal Trouble and Signal Silenced

Mechanical Installation

The panel can be surface or flush mounted. Refer to Figure 1 on page 5 for dimensions.

Surface Mounting

1. Mark the location of the four mounting holes.

2. Install the top two screws into the wall and place the panel over the screws.

3. Install the bottom screws and tighten down all four screws.

Flush Mounting

1. Make the wall cut-out according to the panel dimensions.

2. Remove the control panel door.

3. Mount the flush mounting trim (model FA-102TR) to the back box using the screws and nuts

provided with the flush mounting kit.

4. Re-install the door on top of the flush trim. The cam lock may require a minor adjustment in

order to compensate for the flush trim.

Function Selection

The following jumpers are available for function selection. Refer to Figure 2 on page 6 for location.

• JW1: Cut for resettable +24V DC supply.

• JW2: Cut to make auxiliary relay disconnectable.

• JW3: Cut for normally open trouble contacts.

• JW4: Cut for normally closed trouble contacts.

Wiring

DIP SWITCH DSW1 is used to set the preferred signal zone 1 o utput, the signal silence inhi bit, and
the common trouble flash rate. The default output for the signal zone is temporal code.

not used

ON

DIP switch DSW1

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Signal Zone

ON - steady
OFF - temporal code (default)

ON - 1 minute signal silence inhibit
OFF - normal signal silence (default)

• Temporal Code: 3 rounds of 0.5 second ON, 0.5 second OFF, then 1.5 second pause.

• Steady: Signal on continuously.

Note: Any time the DIP switches in DSW1 are positioned (ON or OFF), the panel must

be reset by holding the Reset button for 5 seconds.

Trouble Buzzer and LED

ON - steady buzzer and LED
OFF - Pulsing Buzzer and LED (default)

Wiring

Detection Zone

The system has one detection zone. Refer to Figure 3 on p age 7 for wiring instruction and to Figure
4 on page 8 for wire size.

Signal Zone

There is one signal zone available for bells and horns providing 1.7A of signal power. Refer to
Figure 3 on page 7 for wiring instruction and to Figure 5 page 8 on for wire size.

Alarm and Trouble Relays

Alarm and trouble relay contacts are pro vided. Refer to Figu re 6 on p age9 for contact location and
designation.
